expressly described in this guide.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not touch the interior of the camera if it has been
dropped or otherwise damaged.
Stop operating the camera immediately if it emits smoke, a strange smell, or

Batteries
Use only recommended batteries.
Do not place batteries near or in direct flame.
Do not let batteries come into contact with water (e.g. sea water) or other
liquids.
Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to batteries.
Avoid dropping or subjecting batteries to severe impacts.
This may cause explosions or leaks, resulting in fire, injury and damage to the
surroundings. In the event that a battery leaks and the eyes, mouth, skin or clothing
contacts these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical
assistance.
Before you discard batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators.
Contacting other metal materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.
Cautions
Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.).
Doing so may cause malfunction or damage the image sensor (CCD).
Be careful not to bang the camera or subject it to strong impacts or shocks
when hanging it by the strap.
Be careful not to bump or push strongly on the lens.

This may cause the camera to malfunction.
Avoid using, placing or storing the camera in the following places.
- Places subject to strong sunlight.
- Places subject to temperatures above 40° C (104° F).
- Humid or dusty areas.
These could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire, burns or other
injuries. High temperatures may also cause deformation of the casing.

If the batteries are left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.
Do not use the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface, or when
covering the flash with your fingers or clothing.

When the "Memory card error" message appears, or when the camera does not
work correctly, formatting the memory card may solve the problem. Copy the
images from the memory card to a computer or other device before formatting.
About Formatting
Formatting or erasing data on a memory card merely changes the file
management information on the card and does not ensure its contents
are completely deleted. Be careful when transferring or disposing of a
memory card. When disposing of a memory card, take precautions such
as physically destroying the card to prevent personal information leaks.
The total capacity of the memory card displayed in the [Format] screen
may be less than indicated on the memory card.
Low level formatting may take longer than standard formatting, since all
recorded data are erased.
You can stop a low level format of a memory card by selecting [Stop].
When stopping low level formatting, the data will be erased but the
memory card can be used without problem.
